Every last friday of the month, I jump on the 'Merry go round'. What is the Merry go round exactly? Each month, a group of craftswomen from around the world join together and give their reponses to the same question/challenge.Last month, we all posted a picture that affected us in one way or the other and explained a bit why. This month, Ruth assigned us to someone else on the Merry go round to make something being inspired by someone else's photo. I got assigned to Mariana's picture of little Seba with his binoculars in Patagonia. The end of the world and he can see all of it from there...Having travelled a lot myself over the years, I really enjoyed seeing Seba being encouraged by his parents to explore the world. Ovbiously he has an advantage to many other kids as he's being raised in 3 languages so he'll be sure to get around the world without language problems.So I made him a little tag to put on his backpack...Happy travels, Seba! :)

Want to know more about what inspiration the other Merriers chose to share with you? Hop over to their blogs. Please bear in mind that the members will be posting at different times of the day, depending on which world time-zone they are in :)
